Are we all Quiet Quitting at this point? That means doing the minimum required for 40 hours a week. No overtime, no extra hours if salaried, no checking email or IMs after 8 hours, no going outside your job description. Aren't we all fed up with the "surveys," the fake "rah-rah" from management, the lack of information about what is going on with layoffs? Enough is enough. Go home on time. Take your PTO. Stay same!

No. I’ll pass on taking any type of career advice from some young influencer on TikTok with zero credibility of any type of history in the workplace which is what that entire article was based off of.
@3qoi+1ikuah7P Agreed. I am hourly so I can’t give more than 40 hours but I give way more than the minimum in that 40 and get as much done as possible. If I slack off it falls on my team mates. If I was salary I could do some more since I no longer have a 50 minute one way commute to and from work since we WFH now.
I have been triple promoted in my 7 years with the company. If you are going to do the bare minimum and "quiet quit", then don't in the same breath complain your peers are getting promotions while your career remains stagnant. It's not Centene, it's any job. You get what you give.
@2sch+1ikuah7P Spoken like a good little corporate slave (pats head). Keep chugging that kool aid.
no, because some of us are here for careers, not jobs. maybe you should consider another line of work. and yes, I take all my PTO.
Instinct tells me this “quiet quitting” phrasing came from HR conference rooms and board rooms.
This is the sort of sh*t they start worrying about after years and years of drilling into our heads that “meeting expectations” means going “above and beyond” so they can play the performance management game.
You all realize that their biggest fear is an unmotivated, just-do-my-job workforce, right?
If we all just did our job and nothing more, they’d have to hire more staff and pay more. That cuts into the bottom line.
Remember: They cannot control what they cannot motivate with money and titles.
Not working free overtime is quitting now?
